Plot

The film begins with a thief, Shankar, who coerces his elder son, Ram, into the craft, eclipsing his future. Knowing it, his wife Gauri discards the children when Shankar withholds the younger one, Shyam. Years roll by, and with her hardship, Gauri molds Ram as a fine man. He marries a wise woman, Seeta. They live a merry, and Seeta gets pregnant. Shyam grows into an expert in pickpocketing, but Shankar, as reformed, makes him desert the profession. Once, Shyam rescues a millionaire, Seth Bihari Lal, from the burglars and falls for his daughter Geeta.

Meanwhile, in a dispute, Ram loses his job. As a result, his family starves, leading to Seeta's death, giving birth to a baby boy, Raju. Devastated, Ram turns to daredevil gangster Michael and hits the jackpot but falsifies his mother by hiding the fact. He melds with a kingpin, Vikram, and earns an enemy, Ranjeet. In an international deal, Ram is apprehended and penalized. Thus, Gauri learns Ram's actual shade and renounces him, too. However, Raju gets distressed by Ram. Further, he meets with an accident when Shyam saves him and pretends to be his father because of his condition. Now, Shyam accommodates them, and Gauri is surprised to see Shankar, and they reunite. Ram again changes his attire as Shantilal Shah, whereas Shyam is on the hunt for him. Then, a brawl erupts, which cools with Gauri's intervention. Ram is ecstatic to return to his family here but cannot bear their hatred. Eventually, Ranjeet abducts Raju. At last, Ram Shyam ceases him and protects Raju. Finally, the movie ends with Ram surrendering to the Police and acquiring his mother's forgiveness.
